Hey guy, I want to get a new drift kit, but I dont know which one. I currently owe a TC3, TT01 and Himoto Nascada, but I am only staying with the TC3. I am going to sell my other two. I want to get a kit so that I could build it but need to decide which one. These are my choices, TB02, TA05, HPI drift tureno kit, or TC4. Please help me decide

i got a TC4 and love it, if you like associated, get the TC4, its a good drifter. im deciding whether i should get the HPI or not. you should take a look at the Cyclone S too, its a nice car.

TA05 is newer so finding parts for it will be easier. I have both a TC4 and a Cyclone S, I dig them both, for different reasons. I'm not a drifter, I like grip. The TC4 feels snappier out of the corners, while the the Cyclone feels more planted all the way around. I think when it comes right down to it I think I'll most likely race the TC4 probably. The Cyclone is breeze to work on only 4 screws hold the diff in. I will say this with both my cars geared close to the same with equal motors in them I can break the back end loose with the TC4 even on rubber tires. If you decide to go the Cyclone route buy new C hubs before you even build the kit. The stock C hubs that come with the Cyclone are crap. I swear if you look at them wrong you can break one. The C hubs for the HPI pro 4 are a direct replacement.

So you think a TA05 is better than a TB02?

Yeah, its newer, so more parts will be out for it. Plus its belt drive, so you don't have to worry about torque steer out of corners.

^^ But see your drifting, so your sliding. Any little tap ar change can move the car around. Your gonna feel torque steer, even with a mild motor.

I use my TT-01 for drifting. before then my COLT 10 & my FT TC3 but think the TT-01 is over all a better car.

My c hubs doesn't break haha... If u have the Tc3, stick with that chassis man. There no reason to by a new chassia while u can dig into your TC3.
